Excerpt from The Splendid Advantages of Being a Woman: And Other Erratic Essays
The following Essays having been originally published under a nom de plume, the Reader is courteously entreated to attribute the egotism of which they may bear too frequent traces, not to the Author, but to the ideal personage whom he represented.
It may not be inexpedient to state that though some of the Essays affect a thoughtful or critical tone, and are therefore meant to be read in a serious spirit, many more of them begin where Common Sense leaves off. Incredible as it may appear on perusal, it is not the less true that the articles of this latter class were intended to be amusing; that they should have been so designed, seeing how they have eventuated, is, perhaps, the drollest thing about them. They were written upon the Horatian principle, dulce est desipere in loco; and Addison's maxim, "No matter in the world is so proper to write with as wildfire," was adopted throughout, though probably in a sense, as with a result, hardly within the contemplation of that celebrated author.
It now and then happened to the present writer that his pen ran away with him. He meekly suggests that on such occasions Messrs. Gillott, of Birmingham, who created the unmanageable implement, should be held responsible for its escapades.

The Splendid Advantages of Being a Woman: And Other Erratic Essays
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a unique approach to analyzing the advantages of being a woman over being a man and vice versa, backed by historical and literary examples. The author posits that all men are unlucky rascals and that women are the true masters of our world. The author asserts that beauty is a liability for women and that physical advantages go hand in hand with being a woman. The author takes a satirical and slightly sardonic tone in addressing how women are treated better than men in society, and the author implies that women have tricked and beguiled men throughout history. The author claims that women have it easier in life and that men are held to much higher and ridiculous standards of beauty and behavior. The author also states that women get away with crimes and bad behavior more often than men, and that men are locked into more dangerous, physically demanding, and thankless jobs. The book is full of hyperbole and humor, and should be taken with a grain of salt. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330772720_0
